"We should do this more often. Like we used to." I turn around and continue putting on my clothes. I should hit the shower as soon as I can. I'm disgustingly sweaty and sticky.
"I have other things to do." With that, I stand and leave the room without looking back. I walk to my room across the hall and see Ryan sleeping peacefully. I walk towards him and watch him for about ten minutes, then go to shower.Thirty minutes later, I walk to my side of the bed and lie next to him. Sleep doesn't come for the next ten minutes, but my phone's vibration makes me alert. I take it and look at the bright screen only to see Jayden's name! Why would he call me at one a.m?"Jada speaking." I answer."Where are you? You're supposed to be here." He shouts, and I furrow my eyebrows in confusion."Jayd..." He cuts me off."Leo... Leonardo is gone." I can tell he's panicked through his voice.I stand immediately and place the phone bRelated chapters

"I think you should rest." I tell Jayden. He doesn't react. I move in front of him and look into his eyes. "Go home and shower, eat something then rest. I'll update you whenever anything comes up." I say and he glares at me. " You promised to take care of him. Where were you when he was taken?" He says his eyes turning into a deeper shade of blue. "I know and that's why I'm not going to rest until I find Leo." I say but he shakes his head. "He's my nephew. I have to find him." He says and moves away from me. His phone rings and he receives it in a flash. He stays silent for a few seconds and disconnects the call. "Alexis just arrived home with bruises." He says and we jog to his car. Mike shouts my name and I tell him the situation as I get into the car. "Let me drive." I say but Jayden starts the car and drives so fast. We arrive at the mansion ten minutes later instead of fifteen and leave the car immediately he stops it.

"Hey, Jada. Any news?" Jayden asks immediately when I step into the mansion. "No. All these have nothing. Cole's coming in an hour to check your car. Maybe they placed it somewhere in there." I say as I hand him a bag with the locket, watch, and Sarah's photo frame. "We have thirteen hours." Jayden whispers just as Alexis walks to us. "What if we give them something... counterfeit. We make a deal. Leo for the chip." She says, looking between us. "Alexis. I told you, we can't risk Le..." Jayden starts, but I cut him off. "Jayden, it seems we can't find it anywhere. Maybe your brother destroyed it or gave it to someone else. I think we should do what Alexis just said. We have no option." Alexis nods, and Jayden looks so conflicted. "And furthermore, that way I can catch them, and they'll go to jail." "No, you can't." Alexis says in alarm, and I turn to her with an eyebrow raised. "Those men are ruthless. What if they hav

Jayden has been silent since we left Sydney's base. I know he wants answers, but how can I just tell him. Should I be like; Hi, my real name is Candice Martins and I joined the American Mafia six years ago seeking revenge against the Italian Mafia after they fucked up my life. After I got my revenge I started my life from scratch and got into the FBI bla bla bla. I can't just tell him anything. In fact he shouldn't even know about the mafia. I'm not that evil to introduce him to it. I know how insane this sounds, I'm an FBI agent and a mafia member. No, I'm not a spy but I made a deal with Sydney Kings. After Marko Russo (the Italian mafia lord) would be killed, I could go away and do my own things. Sydney has changed the mafia and so it hasn't caused any problems since he and Isabella took over and for that I'm so thankful because the police have no issues with them as long as they don't cause chaos. Mike found me and gave me an opportunity to join the FBI. Mar

I raise my eyes towards a silent Jayden. He isn't moving or saying anything. His eyes are closed, and I can see tears dropping down to Leonardo's body. I look down to the body, but as every time I do, my heart skips, and I feel it clench in pain. I know people are around me, but I can't hear them. I'm sure Jayden can't, either. I see some men try to pick Leo from Jayden's arms, but he still clings on him. "Leave him alone. He's supposed to wake up." His lips say, and for the first time, a tear falls down my left cheek. The men say something, but Jayden doesn't let him go. Someone picks me up and hugs me. I don't hug the person back, but soon, I hear a whimper from me. Leonardo Williams is dead. I hit the person's chest as I cry. How could I let this happen? My mission was to protect him. A mission that I belittled. Leonardo is dead. I cry. The person hugs me, saying words that I don't understand. I stand in the person's arms until I can hear e

I look at Ryan's sleeping figure as I run my fingers through his hair. I've told him that I'll be gone for a longer time. Maybe weeks or even months. It depends on how creative and smart Leo's killers are. Earlier I had signed the adoption papers of Ryan so that when I'll be back, we would go away and start a new life together. I didn't tell him that I adopted him but I told him that I'd come with a beautiful surprise that he'll love. I bend down and kiss his right cheek then stand and walk to the room next door. I see a sleeping figure that stirrers immediately when I enter. "Do you have to go?" I nod knowing Abby can see me. I walk to her bed and sit beside her and she rises and hugs me. Abby has been my closest friend here and has helped me cope too apart from Ryan. "Take care of Ryan for me." I whisper and she nods still hugging me. "C.. Can I kiss you? For the last time?" She asks and I nod after a few seconds. She raises her head and kis

JAYDEN'S POV I pick up my training gears that I haven't used for months since Leo's health started deteriorating. Leo. It's been a month since his burial, and to be honest, this has been one of the hardest times of my life. I lost my best friend Lilian and my brother on the same day, but I had Leonardo. A product of their love. I promised to cherish him and protect him forever, but I failed. I failed. I look down at my hands that have formed a fist, and so I take in deep breaths, slightly relaxing my body. My phone buzzes on my side table, and so I walk to it to find a text from my closest friend. DylanI'm outside. Hurry up, or we'll be late. The text reads, and I take my gears. I had asked for a leave of about a year so that I could be with Leo. I couldn't focus on Leo and at the same time on basketball, and so I chose Leo. I walk down the staircase only to find mother talking to Leah and Alexis reading some fashion magazine. I

JADA'S POV "One tequila." I say to the bartender my eyes on the stage looking at one particular stripper. Ivy Armstrong. I've had eyes on her for the past twenty hours and nothing has come up. She's Alexis best friend who started existing six years ago with no criminal records. Not even a speeding ticket. The bartender calls me for my shot and I take it without any hesitation my eyes on Ivy with her white wig and white lingerie. She looks like an innocent angel. A huge contrast to the photo that Cole sent me where she was dressed as a devil. Her eyes meet mine and she gives me a seductive wink and continues dancing eyes on me. I give her a seductive smile without breaking any eye contact. After half an hour, she gets off the stage and I follow her until I'm stopped by two bulky men. "She's with me guys." Ivy comes and says and they move aside letting me follow her to a room labelled on Sweet Fantasy. "Sweet Fantasy. That's your name?" I ask m

"Hey, Jayden can we meet up. Right now?" Linda calls Jayden still sobbing. "Yeah. That's perfect." She says and hangs up the call. "This this park near the Williams' mansion. He said he'll meet me there." She says and she takes her phone and calls someone. "Dave, party's over. I'll be out for a while... Yeah.... With Jada... Okay." She says hanging up and climbs onto the back of the motorbike. I follow her directions to the park and we arrive just as Jayden arrives on foot. He stops in his tracks and looks at me wide eyed. He's in a black leather jacket where he's tacked his hands in. He has a pair of black jeans that look good on him. Linda gets off the bike as Jayden opens and shuts his mouth then walks to me when he notices that I'm trying to leave. "Jada? Fuck! I've been looking everywhere for you." He says surprising me. He has? "You have?" Linda asks looking between us. Jayden clears his throat then realizes the situation. "Lin
